If I am remembering my chemistry correctly, TNT stands for Trinitratrotoluene or toluene ( which is a benzene ring of 6 carbon atoms in a ring, and each carbon atom has a hydrogen atom to the outside, with a CH3 structure hanging on to the ring ) that has been treated with nitric acid, adding 3 NO2 structures to it.
If this bug can neutralize TNT, then it should have no problem dealing with and neutralizing benzene pollution from gasoline leaks. If you are correct in that the bug may eat the nitrogen, this may be a interesting way to make fertilizer from explosives, a real swords to plowshares project.

I was wondering about the connection between TNT and many Energy Department waste sites. Peculiar form of energy, TNT.
